<![CDATA[Core2 mystery abort() - how to debug?]]>Hello,
I've been working on porting a data collection / IoT application from ESP32 to M5Stack Core2 using C++, PlatformIO and Arduino framework. The high level stuff is the same but I am slowly replacing some of the low level hardware dependent code.
I have a mystery abort() and reboot and I can't find where it's happening. At the moment I have been writing in lots of println and printf, but that can only go so far. I read on the PlatformIO site that PlatformIO debug environment won't work on Core2 because one of the JTAG pins is used for the LCD. There is a hack, but I would prefer something simpler as a first approach.
Any suggestions where I can find out what source lines correspond to the PC address and backtrace?
Thanks in advance.

millis=631 In Context::set_state, State* is 3ffbb8d4 and calling entry_action().
millis=638, In InitReadingState::entry_action(), entered state InitReadingState 3ffbb8d4.   
millis=646 In Context::set_state, State* is 3ffbb8d4 and returning from entry_action().     

abort() was called at PC 0x401f81cf on core 1

I added this to my platformio.ini:

build_type = debug
monitor_filters =
  default  ; Remove typical terminal control codes from input
  esp32_exception_decoder  ; Decode the backtrace
